We really liked this review. The binoculars were faulty when we received them. An eye pieces extender was broken, but looked thru them anyway and they were much better than the 100 year old ones we have. We have returned them to Amazon and would like to say this process was very easy. Haven’t seen our statement to see about the refund, but I trust it is there as they have said. Hope to reorder the same pair..

All I know is that the person who received these binoculars as a gift
was very pleased with them.

I was tired of the hand-me-down, cheap and cheesy binoculars we had lying around the house and I decided I would buy a nice set.
This is a nice set.
I won’t elaborate too much because if you’re spending this much money on a set of binoculars, you probably have already done your research. You won’t be disappointed.

I was influenced by the Amazon reviews in my purchase of this fine binocular, and I could not be more pleased. Let me first address the quality. I have been a photographic hobbyist for over fifty years and I own several of Canon’s finest lens, including the “L” series, so I believe I am qualified to critique the optical quality of this Nikon. They are excellent, and I would simply ignore anything said different.
I wear progressive bifocal glasses and I have no problem with the Nikon 7238, and neither does my wife. The adjustable eye cups are very nice. It is easy to adjust the binocular for our individual use. Just close your right eye, adjust the binocular until it is sharp to the left eye. Then close the left eye, and adjust the right diopter until the right lens is sharp, and that’s it. Takes longer to type this than to actually do it once you have done it a couple of times.
We watch birds on our feeder about fifty feet from our back sliding glass door, and the 7238 is a terrific improvement over the cheap binocular we have had for years. We have 22 acres in the country just a bit east of Atlanta, and the 7238 is great for watching for ATF when I go back to tend the still. Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center is about 2 miles from us as the crow flies, and we are looking forward to visiting there and bird watching now that Spring is here.
One thing about purchasing from Amazon is their return policy. If for some weird reason you were not happy with the 7238, they have a no hassle return policy. Frankly I don’t know how they do it, its abused pretty often.

I’m replacing a mid-range pair from another major manufacturer. Absolutely no comparison! And the price from Amazon made this binocular a real bargain. Thank you.
